HA 0.118.3 won't start up with basic SSL config

Configuration
1

I have set up a new HA 0.118.3 install on a Lubuntu 18.04 machine, and have migrated SSL certs from my old server. When I add these lines to my (otherwise empty) configuration.yaml the HA server will not start up. The file/path details are correct. I got the info from: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/http/

http:
  server_port: 8123
  ssl_certificate: /home/myuser/certificate.pem
  ssl_key: /home/myuser/privkey.pem

Can anyone advise what’s wrong with this config?

What kind of installation is this? Inside a virtualenv? If it’s in docker the paths are certqinly not correct.

3

Are you sure it’s not starting? Or is it just that you can’t access the ui? Most times people do this and then can’t access the ui because they aren’t changing how they access it from before it was secured, or because the system can’t read the ssl certificates.

Ah sorry I should have mentioned - it’s a Docker install. So this is command that I used to install HA:
sudo docker run -d --name="home-assistant" -v ~/homeassistant:/config -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --net=host homeassistant/home-assistant
Given the above, I’ve changed the config to this:

http:
  server_port: 8123
  ssl_certificate: /config/certificate.pem
  ssl_key: /config/privkey.pem

(the cert files are in my main.HA config folder)
I’m still not able to get to the HA GUI though.

What do the logs say?
